The best game you've ever played

fable · 01-07-2002, 09:37 PM

It needn't be a computer game, or even a game you've played in the last decade. But of all the games you've played, which is the one that gave you the most satisfactory experience?

It might be BG2!

Sorry I can't give just one answer for this, so here are some of my favorites.....Cosmic Encounter, Magic The Gathering, Axis and Allies, AD&D (of course) Empire Builder (Eurorails, Australian Rails...etc.) there are more I just can't think of anything else right now.

I know what you mean.

You'll notice I didn't answer my own question. Maybe Might & Magic III? Or Ultima VII? Or Alpha Centauri? Or King of Dragon Pass? or Master of Magic, Patrician II, Railroad Tycoon II...?

Check back with me in a few weeks.

Amen on the Cosmic Encounters!! My Filch/Vulch combo is frightening.

My favorite computer game is Combat Mission (World War II game)

I would have to go back to the old "Ultima IV" on the apple computer. The graphics used all 8-colors and the plinking speakers were fabulous. Going into each town and trying to figure out each persons daily schedule made it seem all the more life-like.

Final Fantasy fan coming through! FFVII and FFX! And BG2 too!

As far as sheer mass of time dedicated it's easily Doom/DoomII/Quake, there was a while there where I was playing 3+ hours a day. And I thank them for proving that those LAME "Pay for Play" internet racketts are not the only way to do internet multiplayer. The day I pay $50 for a game then pay monthly to be able to play it is the day you can take me out to the pasture and put me out of my misery.

RPG - Diablo II - I know some of you guys don't think it's a true RPG but it's close enough for me... and has IMMENSE replayability. My wife and I have been through the entire game at least 6 times on the way to level 80 and there's some out there that are at 100.

"Classic" CRPG - BG2

Simulation - Operation Flashpoint - outstanding game!

Strategy - Warcraft II - fun as all get out!

I also have some honerable mentions -
Empire (the origonal text game that I played on a VAX when I was a kid...)
Ultima I-IV - the early ones were the best!
Kings Quest I/II - good graphic adventure
Leisure Suit Larry - they showed topless girls! Of course the entire top of the girl was about 8 pixels... but it's the thought that counts!
Myth - Great concept... but frustrating in places when it forced you to follow a recipe to win instead of using tactics and strategy.

I would have to say that my fav games are..... quake 3 diablo 2 and grand theft auto3. And i would like to comment on the person that said some people are at lvl 100 on diablo2. That is immpossible considering you can only get to lvl 99.

Thoran · 01-17-2002, 04:07 PM

You'd think so wouldn't you?

I know people who are at level 125 and higher. All you need is the proper patch and the sky is the limit. Personally I can't imagine playing long enough to get to 125 without cheating on XP somewhere, but they're out there.
